Have you looked on cd-wow? The R2UK and R3K releases of the Batman SE are £8.99 after discount, the R3K Returns SE is also £8.99 after discount.

Yeah, but Romero has put me off regarding R3 versions.

Besides I generally stick to R1/2 for western movies (Leon being an exception).

take no notice the warner r3 versions are just as good as the region 1 counterparts,recently had excellent warner r3 discs of constantine & house of wax.

Any idea if the R4 of Batman Returns is cut like the UK?

Oh, and do those hideous censor ratings peel off the front?

Warner R3 seem perfect copies of other countries as are Fox dvds

cheaper companies skimp on quality, R3 for Warner and Fox dont

but cheap R2 Warners from cdwow are bad sometimes, as R2 is a big place, they keep sending me dddgy Russian dvds!

The Batman titles are listed as R2/4 which is how AUS editions are denoted.

I assumed that all R2 titles were UK unless stated.

You can never ever tell with cdwow, they can be still R2 even if they say R4 as well, but its free to send things back if your not satisfied

Check out the outrageous censor logos on the R4 editions(!)

Yuk!

R1/non UK R2 it is then!

And you thought the old R4 ratings banners were bad!
Batman a PG but B&R is M rated? Some mistake surely?

Yeah, these new ones are atrocious. I think they must've been designed by Aussie who wear corked hats!!

Seems odd. "Moderate Coarse langauge" Eh??

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Oct 2005, 15:13

Batman/Batman and Robins ratings should be the other way round IMO.
How do the Aussie ratings go? Its':

G (like our U)
PG (what it says)
M
MA
R (like our 18)
I think!

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Oct 2005, 17:21

I know what you meant, Grim, about the ratings.

Here's the ratings I would give.

BATMAN [PG-13/12/M]
BATMAN RETURNS [PG-13/15/MA]
BATMAN FOREVER [PG-13/12/M]
BATMAN & ROBIN [BANNED]

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Oct 2005, 17:34

I don't remember much of the first 2 movies TBH and havent seen Forever before.
B&R was bloody awful

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 19 Oct 2005, 19:01

Oh, alright...

BATMAN & ROBIN [PG/PG/PG]

Well, it's the most sanitised of the lot...

Not that being a PG makes it a crap film. Being crap makes it a crap film. 8)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Oct 2005, 19:35

Yeah, you know Arnie's enterance line in that was from The Simpsons?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 19 Oct 2005, 23:29

Hehe B&R... Batman on Ice!

Eva, you're from down under, right?

Don't those hideous ratings logos bother you?

I'm used to them. NZ has had rating stickers the same size as the new Aussie ones since at least 1993.

They're stuck over the Aussie logos Mark.

Up until recently they used to do the same in Ireland, as they share our DVDs.

I've got the Korean boxset which has the same coverart as the Region 2 and is irreversible so now korean text on the otherside. Also all extras from Region 1 are there. Very happy with the boxset

Except for bloody Batman and Robin :x

whoops, err yep that what i mean

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 11 Nov 2005, 03:13

Yeah, I can confirm that the R4 Returns (which I bought this afternoon on my way home) definitely has the Burton commentary - so thus it's uncut. BTW the R4 is also bloody cheap.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 11 Nov 2005, 11:19

Oh, I thought I mentioned it. I got the R4 almost two weeks ago and, yes, it is uncut. Funnily enough... I'm in the middle of listening to the audio com for it now. 8) I can only assume it's missing off the R2 because Burton talks over the cut footage? (He does) I've passed that bit.
